Special By Tiik Un'itkd lltKSS.
Er. Paso, Oct 13. McLaughlin and
Walters, the two men arrested in
Juarez about a year ago for the mur
der of a Mexican woman; were released
from jail yesterday morning. They
were tried in a Mexican court and
found guilty in spite of their assertions
of innocence. Walters was sentenced
to be shot and McLaughlin to serve
ten years in jail.
The case was appealed to the su
preme court at Chihuahua, and noth
ing was heard of it till yesterday, when
the doors of the prison were thrown
open and they were told to depart
Walters was so weak after his dis
charge that he could scarcely speak,
and at times he spoke irrationally. Of
course, he was overjoyed at his release
and glad to bo on American soil once
more.
Tho cases of McLaughlin and Wal
ters became the subject of interna
tional correspondence. There was
not a uarticle of evidence ajrainst the
men, but they incurred the enmity of
petty Mexican officials at Juarez, aud
their conviction resulted. Detectives
from San Francisco were sent to
Juarez by direction of the state de
partment at Washington, and it is
doubtless that the interference of the
secretary of state had much to do with
the release of the men. Ed.
RE-APPORTIONMENT BILL.
The Fiirurcs Taken From the

Spec!.i; to Tiik Astoriax.1
WAsraxaTON-, Oct 13. An article
appears in the Washington Gazette
stating that the figures for the Dnn
nell re-apportionment bill were made
up in the census office.
Dnnnell is chairman of the house
committee on the eleventh census aud
called for these figures early in the
count, in order to base tho apportion
ment bill upon them. The program
liad nudonbtedly been arranged to
pass both the elective bill and the ap
portionment bill at the last session of
congress, but the senate was not wil
ling. "Observe the figures closely," said
the clerk, "and you will see that tak
ing the population of several states, as
returned, and allotting a member to
every 180,000 inhabitants, it will make
it very difficult for the Democrats to
elect the next President, unless next
fall it shall demonstrate that tho Re
publican line in the west is weakened
by the passage of the Mclunley bill.
"For example, the states now called
Republican, among them California
aud Iowa, will have an electoral vote
of 218, while the states classed Demo
cratic will have but 161 votes. Then
thero aro placed in the doubtful col
umn Connecticut, Indiana, New
York aud West Virginia. The Demo
crats would have to carry all four of
these to elect a President, while the
Republicans would have to carry but
one."

me from having inflammation of the
lungs, or something else, when I had
the 'Grippe,' and perhaps saved my life.

lene: as they are made.
"Please send me another dozen, as the
last are all gone but one. I gave several
of them away, but they all did good in
every case, so far as 1 could learn.''
